Form & Verdict
Consistent gelding who beat Amazonian Dream over C&D last August (first-time blinkers; deal worse off tonight) and followed up at York; not quite hit the same heights off his revised mark in two starts this year and is given another try without the headgear.

J: William Buick

T: William Haggas

Steps up further in class but he has progressive York form and brings impressive stats, being 3-4 over C&D (gained last win cosily in good-ground Listed race) and 4-9 in headgear, which is reapplied with Newmarket reappearance under his belt; has a better chance than bare ratings suggest.

J: Tom Marquand

Has form on the Newmarket tracks but recorded last three wins at York, including when beating Crestofdistinction with more in hand than the narrow margin suggests in Listed grade on most recent appearance; likely to be more interesting when back at that venue.

Form & Verdict
Only gone beyond 5f once since his 2yo days, that when winning over C&D last August off a 2lb lower mark; shown a few times that he's at least as good this season under Tommie Jakes, and is high on the shortlist.

J: Luke Morris

Exploited his reduced mark in fine style at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) last month; came up short off an 11lb higher mark in Ireland 13 days ago, hanging left; minor placing perhaps his best hope this time.

Made all for an emphatic 5f Doncaster win early this month, his first success since August 2024; up 11lb for that; however, he had a higher mark early in his career when trained by Brian Meehan; definite chance, given the depth of the sprinting division in Britain, relative to Ireland.

His last win was in August 2024 but he went close off a reduced mark in a 16-runner handicap at York (5f, good) last month; back up 2lb in the weights but that was a bold bid last time and he's respected.

Form & Verdict
Useful 2yo who proved tough to place for Eve Johnson Houghton during a limited campaign last season and has found his level again this time; finished just ahead of Elmonjed at Newbury six weeks ago for a yard that's found some form of late.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who won his maiden over C&D and came back to form for 7lb claimer Donagh Murphy here a fortnight ago; had a good few chances off this mark (3lb higher than when last winning) now and much could hinge on how things play out early.

Has won two of his five races since gelded, both over 7f on the Southwell Tapeta; latest fourth at Newcastle (7f) was a fine run as well, with the first three ridden handier and he found some trouble in running; should get involved if as effective back on turf.

Form & Verdict
Three 2yos wins came over this trip, including C&D, from the front but he's often run over 5f since; pulled hard on his first run back from wind surgery here last Monday and will need to settle much better in first-time blinkers (worn a visor once before).
